About Pakanale
Grammer:
Pakanale is a synthetic language, using simple, one syllable, suffixes for verbs and simple nouns declination with no case marking or grammatical gender.
Pakanale is strictly SVO, and uses grammatical particles to avoid breaking this form.
There are many analytical elements, such as the lack of the verb "to be", the lack of a distinction between many types of physical position (in, at, on, etc.) and the lack of case marking. However, there are also many agglutinative or synthetic elements as well, such as the derivational affix system and the regular use of compound nouns and adjectives.
